God of Carnage

by Yasmina Reza, directed by Pascale Couderc

In Fall 2019, Carmina Theater presented a production in the original French (with English supertitles) of "God of Carnage," Yasmina Reza's famous play, the translation of which won a TONY Award for Best Play in 2009, and was adapted for the screen by Roman Polanski in 2011.

In this scouring and intimate portrayal, two couples who don't know each other meet in a living room to settle an incident involving their sons. Good intentions and good manners are rapidly put to the test, and as the veneer of civilization starts to crack, the evening takes an unexpected turn...

"God of Carnage" was presented at the Shelton Theater (Powell BART, near Union Square, easy and cheap parrking at the Sutter/Stockton Parking Garage). Presented in the original French (with English subtitles).
